4738.12
Appeals.

The motor vehicle salvage dealer's licensing board shall hear
appeals which may be taken from an order of the registrar of motor vehicles,
refusing to issue a license. All appeals from any order of the registrar
refusing to issue any license upon proper application made must be taken within
thirty days from the date of the order, or the order is final and conclusive.
All appeals from orders of the registrar must be by petition in writing and
verified under oath by the applicant whose application for license has been
denied, and must set forth the reason why, in the petitioner's opinion, the
order of the registrar is not correct. In appeals the board may make
investigation to determine the correctness and legality of the order of the
registrar. The board may make rules governing its actions relative to the
suspension and revocation of licenses and may, upon its own motion, and shall,
upon the verified complaint in writing of any person, investigate the conduct
of any licensee under this chapter. The board shall suspend or revoke or notify
the registrar to refuse to renew any license if any ground existed upon which
the license would have been refused, or if a ground exists which would be cause
for refusal to issue a license. The board may suspend or revoke any license if
the licensee has in any manner violated the rules issued pursuant to sections
4738.01 to
4738.16 of the Revised Code, or
has been convicted of committing a felony or violating any law which in any way
relates to the theft of motor vehicles.
